SCENE — Street. 

Evtcr BrNN, yrith lon>j irhite apmn and cap on. 

Buun. I sent tli;it jsorvaiit of iniiio down to Iho mill an hour .a^o, 
to see \vh:il kept tliein so loii^ lioiii seiuliui; lliat Ilour 1 onloicd yes- 
tenhiy, and he has not rclurMcd yrt — I can't f»eo wliat is keepin*^ him 
so lont::. Well, I will go back to my >\\o\k and wiicn he returns I 
will att'.-nd to ids case. {Exit l. 

Enter from u., Ham, loith hnifj >rhite apron and cap, with a few drops 
of bliod on apron — he is hvidc up to resemble Bi'XN as near as pos- 
sible. 

lln),i. I have pjot the biggest nuisance of a servant that man ever 
had, and I think the lasiest. I sent him on an crranil to the hard- 
"ware store alter a knife, several hours ai;o, and the ra-cal hasn't re- 
turned yet. {looks off \i.) Ah! here he comes now, but 1 can't see 
that he has got the knife I sent him lor. 

Entn' J I'M no, r., grinning. 

Jumbo, (seeing 11\m— aside) Dat can't be my master, but it looks 
like him very much. Maybe he has been lighting and got some 
blood on his apron. ' {looks at II am 

JIam. Ah I you rascal, what have you been doing all this time? 

Jumbo, {aside) Dat's him. I've been down to de mill seein* 
'bout dat flour. 

Ham. Did I send you to the mill ? 

Jumbo. Yes, sah ! 



4 EVEBYBODY ASTONISHED, 

Ham. You good for nothing nigger, I didn't send you to any 
mill, but to the hardware store after a knife. I suppose you forgot 
wh;it I sent you for a;> soon as you left the shop. 

Jumbo. A knife! {astonished 

Ham. Yes, a knife. And here you have been down to the null 
all this time, when I was in a terrible hurry for it. 

Jumbo. You sent nie after flour, mas'r. 

Ham. (excited) You get out of this— go right down to the butch- 
er shop and staj'' there until I return. 

Jumbo, [opens mouth -asEoiiished) To de butcher shop? 

Ham. Yes, to the butehcr shop. iSTow git! 

Jambo. You bet; but I wonder what's de matter wid de baker 
shop. 

Ham. You git, and never mind anj^ baker shop. 

{runs off, R., Ham follovnng 

Enter Sam, l., vnth knife, such as butcher^s use. 

Sam. O! golly, I'm tired. I'se been way down to de hardware 
store and got a big knife for my master. {looks off, l.) Here he 
comes now, but his apron is mighty clean for liim, it usually is all 
covered wid blood, but maybe he has joined de Salbation Army, an' 
dey hab washed his apron clean. 

Enter Bunn, l. 

Bunn. Well, have you got back at last? I think the next time I 
send you on an errand I will send some one after you with a cannon. 

Sam. 1 habn't been gone long, mast'r. 

Bunn. You have been gone long enough, you lazy nigger. What 
did tliey say at the mill about the flour? 

Sam. At de mill! Why you sent me to de hardware store after 
a knife, which I have here. {shoics knife 

Bunn. What's that, you rascal? Don't you think I know better 
than that. 1 sent you to the mill about three hours ago, and here 
you come saying 1 sent you to the hardware store. 

Sam. {looks at him in astonishment) Well, here is de knife you 
sent me after, an' der wasn't no change. 

Bunn. I guess you must be crazy or drunk! Go down to the 
store and remain there until I come back. 

(Sam goes off, l., looking at Bunn astonished 

Bunn. There must be something the matter with that servant of 
mine. Guess he's been drinking. He's never acted this way be- 
fore.^ {look.-. K.) Ah! here he comes again, and with a package 
under his arm. 

Enter Jumbo, e., lohistling loith a large package of sausage imder his 



Bunn. Well, what the deuce are you doing back here again? I 
thought I sent you down to the store? 



E VEB YB OD Y ASTONISHED, 5 

Jumbo, (astonished — aside) I just left de boss down at de butch- 
er shop. Guess he must have started out some oder way, as he sent 
me to de hotel wid dose snassougers, an' said I should "hurry ris^ht 
back. But liow de deuce did he gir here so soon, is what beats me, 
(aloud) How did you get here so quick? 

Bunn. Wh}-, you rased, what do you mean? You jusc lel't here 
and then to be asking how I got here'so quick. 

(Jl'MBo looks at him asto)iished, and then to audience 

Jumbo. Guess I'll be gcttin' out ob iiere ; dis man's gettin' crazy, 
an' if he kills me I can't take dese snassengers down to de hotel, an' 
den de borders won't get uothin' to eat. (starts to <io off, l. 

Bunn. Well, where are you going now — an.l what have you got 
in that bundle? 

Sa m. S n asse n ge r s ! 

Bunn. Tiien you must have stole them, and I've a good mind 

(angrily 

S<^m. Xo-o-o! (looks at him, frightened, and runs off l. 

Bunn. 1 wonder what's the matter with the nigger — he surely 
must ])e getting crazy. 1 can't bother with him, sol'll go down to 
the bakery and see how things are getting on. (Exit^ l. 

Enter Sam, r. 

Sam. I just seen master as I was comin' down street, an' you'd 
ought to have seen me lly round de corner. (looks l., astonished) 
Oh! by gimmlny, here comes my master now; heiaust have forgot- 
ten sometbin'. 

Enter Ham, l. 

Ilam. AVhat, you here again? 

Sam. Yes, sah I (frightened 

Ham. Well, I have an erranil for you to do, and if you will be 
lively about it 1 will give you a lialf holiday. 

Sam. No fool in' ? 

Ham. Of course not. If you get back in lifteen minutes you can 
go and enjo}' yourself the rest of the day. 

Sam. For a fac' — stu'e? 

llam. Wliy, certain! v. 

Sam. Oh, you bet I'd lly. 

Ilam. 1 want you to go ilown to Brown's and sec if he has got 
those sausriges made yet. 

Sam. (adidc) I believe Brown puts dog's meat in his snassengers, 
but (Wn if de dog's good it will make dog-on good sna^sage, (aloud) 
All right, masU'r, I'll be back in two uniuites and sixty !^econ!U by 
de town clock. Tra, la! ' (Exit,R. 

Enter Bunn, l. 



Bunn. I wonder where that confounded nigger of mine has got

tohunt all over creation till I id him. {looks -l.) Ah! I believe 
he is coining clown the streer there now. 

jFjifo- Jumbo, whistling. 

Jumbo, {sees Bunn, aside) I wonder if master has got ober his 
instantaneously. 

Bunn. Hello! where dil you come from? 

Jumbo. O, I's been down skatin' on de rollers. You'd ought to 
see me glide 'round de room. (pantomimes roller skating 

Bunn. Well, as you have been enjoying yourself, I would now 
like to have you do a little work. I wan't you to go down to the 
tin shop and get two dozen pie-plates, and have them charged to me. 
Do you understand ? 

Jumbo. Yes, sah ! 

Bunn. Well, trot along then. 

Jumbo. See me trot. {hip-it-ee-hops offL. 

Enter Ham, e.

getting along, and how's business. 

Bunn. (s/icd'e hands) Getting on first rate and business boom- 
ing. 

Sa'M pokes his head in R., sees Buxn and Ham, looks in astonishment 
both at them and audience. Jumbo pokes his head in l., does same 
business as Sam. Sam and Jumbo discover each other at the same 
time — both look astonished and fall flat on stage: both get up and go 
to c, lohere they stick their fingers at each other to see lohich is 
which; both look at each other and laugh, look at audience and both 
speak at once. 



^™f-lwho..rcyou 



Jumbo. I j^ , ^ of your business! 
Sam. \ -^ 

(Buxn and Ham come from back 
Bunn. Here you two, we don't want any figliting here. 
Ham. How near alike they look — they must be twins. 

Jumbo and Sam pay no attention to them, but keep on gesticulating, and 
at last commence to Jig Jit, ivJien Buxx and Ham try to separate them 
— they pitch into Ham and Bunn and have a regular knock-down at 

CUKTAIN.
